Every fight has been a big one for Vasyl Lomachenko since his Oct. ’13 pro debut, though none bigger than the stage he enters on Saturday evening. The reigning featherweight titlist defends versus Puerto Rico’s Gamalier Rodriguez in the chief support to the highly anticipated showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The scheduled 12-round affair serves as the opening bout of a three-fight telecast airing live on Pay-Per-View (Saturday, 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT).
Big plans have been in store for Lomachenko (3-1, 1KO) ever since turning pro in Oct. ’13. The two-time Olympic Gold medalist from Ukraine was thrown into a regional title fight in his pro debut, stopping 28-fight veteran Jose Ramirez inside of four rounds. The bout served as an undercard primer for Tim Bradley’s close-but-clear win over Juan Manuel Marquez.
